Kevin's Watch

My favorite example of this type of reversal is in the Film 'Watchmen' when Rorsarch has just thrown boiling chip fat over the head of a guy that was about to knife him in the prison canteen. He whirls round on the other cons who had been expectantly awaiting his killing, and shouts in his raw, ragged voice "You guys just don't get it do you. It's not me who's locked in here with you - It's you who's locked in here with me!"

Findail walks into a bar - well, it makes a change from a tree, a mast, a wall....

Bannor walks into a stonedown. Then a woodhelvin. Then Revelstone.

Because the Haruchai are humorless and don't know how jokes work.

Oh, they know. They just don't deign to laugh.

It's just that they laugh so much and for so long in private that when it comes to laughing in public they just say "We sore face"

Sorry...

"Get me a beer...oh, and one for the road..."

Q: Why couldn't High Lord Kevin tell the time?

A: Because Thomas Covenant stood on Kevin's watch.

The second day of their journey dawned with another sun of fertility. Sunder prepared his ussusimiel seeds and began harvesting the melons. Linden and Covenant watched him with glum looks on their faces.

"Knock, knock," says Linden.

"Honeydew who?" asks Covenant.

"Hondeydew you want to hear some gardening jokes?"

Covenant contorts his face into a wild grimace.

"Amos who?"

"Amos quito bit me, ouch!"

"Hellfire!"

"Anna."

"Anna who?"

"Anna ther mosquito bit me, pass me the voure!"

"Bloody damnation," grumbles Covenant.

The fifth day dawns with a Sun of Rain. The build a raft and float with the river. As the sun begins to set, they are all water logged and miserable, wishing to get away from the river.

"Knock, knock," says Linden.

"Hellfire, Linden, Who's there?"

"Dwayne," she answers.

"Dwayne who?" asks Covenant.

"Dwayne the tub, I'm dwowning."

"Hell and blood! Ain't that the truth!"

"Hellfire. Who's bloody there?"

"Etch."

"Damnation. Etch who?"

"Bless you! Here's a Kleenex."

"Leper outcast unclean!" snarled Covenant. "Don't touch me!"

"What's your issue, tissue?"

A Raver spider crawls into a bar.
The bartender asks, "What's your poison?"

The Raver comes back on the next night as a pack of rats.
The bartender shouts, "Hey, we don't want no mischief in here!"

The Raver comes back on the next night as a fry of eels.
The bartender slyly remarks, "Back for more, eh?"

The Raver comes back on Friday as a swarm of bees.
The bartender doesn't say anything - it's none of his buzziness.
